The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and a moderate layer of snow fell on the capital overnight.
This kind of snow is just right. If it gets heavier, there will be waterlogging at the beginning of spring. If it doesn't fall, there will be drought at the beginning of spring.
The clear sunshine after the snow covers the earth, making the capital, a thousand-year-old capital, more vivid and splendid.
The palace with its red walls and gold tiles has become extra dignified, elegant, quiet and profound because of the snow.
Swish, swish, this is the sound of the palace people sweeping the snow in the aisles. The broom sweeps rhythmically on the ground, and the crystal snow slowly turns into a small pile. The size of each snow pile and the distance between them are
It's consistent, as if it was done deliberately.
Swish, the snow is cleared away to reveal smooth and clean slates. Snow can purify everything, and the slates paved on the ground seem to be brand new.
"Stop!" Suddenly, the leader of the East Palace, the eunuch Wang Basha, trotted out and stood in front of the palace servants who were cleaning the corridors. He cursed in a low voice, "You are seeking death! Your grandson hasn't gotten up yet? The memorial was reviewed last night.
In the middle of the night, I quarreled with my great-grandson. How many heads will he grow?"
"You little ones deserve to die!" The leader of the palace servant responsible for cleaning the floor quickly apologized and turned around and said, "Quickly, take it all away."
At this moment, another eunuch Pu Wuyong came out of Jingren Palace and said, "You bastard, shame...His Royal Highness Taisun asked you not to act like a tiger outside and let them sweep the snow. If you don't sweep it now,
Keep it clean. When the snow melts, Taisun asked you to clean it yourself!"
"What did His Highness say?" The bastard looked sideways at Pu Wuyong, and suddenly slapped his forehead, "His Highness is awake, and we have to go and serve him immediately!" After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the house.
"There is Miss Miaoyun beside Your Highness!" Pu Wuyong said again.
The bastard paused for a moment, but then walked quickly inside, muttering as he walked, "Miaoyun is Miaoyun, and our family is our family. If there are many people waiting for you, Your Highness will not be comfortable!"
In the palace, Zhu Yunxi was leaning on the bed and dozing off.
I don't know what happened to the old man these days. All the memorials were pushed to him and he went to hide and relax. For five or six days in a row, he would have to watch the midnight watch.
It would have been fine if it was another memorial, but it happened to be submitted by the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, regarding the transfer of generals in the army.
This matter is still a tail end of the Lan Yu incident. My uncle's family is now in charge of the military inside and outside the capital and is responsible for the safety of the capital. This not only promotes the Chang family, but also appeases other military officials.
But after Lan Yu closed his mind and thought about it, the generals in the army who were close to him were not reprimanded on the surface, but they were secretly adjusted and no longer held real power, or they were transferred far away.
These military generals were all military elites who had gone on expeditions with Lan Yu, seen blood, and participated in large-scale battles. The long resume on the memorial, as well as the archives of military meritorious service for many times, made Zhu Yunxi be careful when reviewing the memorial.
.
We can't let them have too much power, but we can't let them idle and waste their talents.
The emperor's mind and the way to be a king are really laborious.
"I must learn this skill, old man!"
Zhu Yunxi, who was leaning against the head of the bed and rubbing his eyes, thought to himself.
Lan Yu was deprived of all his official positions and allowed to shut up and think about his mistakes. It seemed like he had a chance to make a comeback, but in fact, all his claws had been pulled out.
Even if Lan Yu comes back in the future, he will no longer be the general who responds to every call in the army. He is just an ordinary general who commands the army.
If Lan Yu doesn't repent and relapses into his old ways, the old man can do whatever he wants to say to deal with him, without leaving any excuse.
"Lanyu!" Zhu Yunxi sighed in his heart, "Old man, I still feel a little... humph!"
"Your Highness!" At this time, Miao Yun's soft voice came from outside the curtain, "Do you want my servant to serve you now?"
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yunxi said feebly.
He is a self-disciplined person and gets up early every day to exercise and polish his body. However, no matter how self-disciplined a person is, he cannot bear the thought of not sleeping well these past few days. And in this kind of weather, what can make people more nostalgic than a warm bed.
However, he is not coveting a warm bed.
But.........
The tent in the early morning is always particularly eye-catching.
At this time, let Miaoyun come in and be seen. I'm so ashamed!
But, for some things, the more you want it to go down, it just won’t go down. It has been lying there for a long time, and it is still there.
In desperation, Zhu Yunxi closed his eyes and spoke plausibly, trying to divert his attention.
"The Analects of Confucius, learned and written, teaches a country of thousands of chariots, respects things and is trustworthy, is frugal and loves others, so that the people can live in good time."
"To govern a country with thousands of military vehicles, one must be cautious in political affairs and be trustworthy..."
"The Ming Dynasty is already a country of hundreds of thousands of chariots. As a ruler, you must be more careful. You must not be extravagant for your own selfish desires, let alone enjoy great achievements. You must cherish the people conscientiously!"
Zhu Yunxi repeatedly recited yesterday's homework, hoping to distract himself.
It is not easy to be the crown prince. Being the crown prince means responsibility and the expectations of the whole world. It is not okay to act willfully, and it is not okay to be carefree. If you want to do whatever you want, don't even think about it.
Zhu Yunxi continued to mutter silently, "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, you take a bath, I steal... we are similar in sex, but we are far away from each other..."
After chanting in his mind for a long time, Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes and coughed lightly.
With a swish, the curtain was opened, and Miao Yun and a group of palace people came forward silently and began to circle around Zhu Yunxi.
The warm towel was held by soft jade hands and carefully wiped on Zhu Yunxi's face. Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, could smell the faint smell of rouge and powder on the other person's body.
"What makes your wipes smell so good?" Zhu Yunxi asked with his eyes closed.
Miaoyun's face turned red, "I didn't wipe anything!"
"Then why does it smell so good?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Miaoyun lowered his head, his face was so red that he dared not say anything.
"It smells so good without rubbing anything on it!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and opened his eyes, "That's the natural daughter's fragrance!"
Miaoyun's face turned red and she bit her lip lightly.
Even if you can’t eat it, it’s still eye-catching to look at!
Zhu Yunxi looked at the other person with a smile. He was sitting, and the other person's slender body was very close to him, and he bowed slightly.
"Oops!"
Zhu Yunxi cursed in his heart that he had recited the Analects of Confucius and the Three-Character Sutra in vain, and he got up again!
"Hey!" He sighed silently in his heart, "This life is the same as before. I hope to grow up quickly, go through hundreds of battles, and be as stable as an old dog! But unfortunately, the goal in the previous life was not achieved, and it is still far away in this life.
No time limit."
"Your Highness! Rinse your mouth!" At this time, the bastard was holding a teacup, and Pu Wuyong was holding a spittoon.
After Zhu Yunxi rinsed his mouth, he looked at the smiling bastard and asked, "What makes you so happy? Your face is full of smiles!"
"I just heard some happy things!" the bastard said, kneeling down again and putting on Zhu Yunxi's shoes.
"Tell me and listen!" Zhu Yunxi raised his leg.
"I heard that the noble ministers who visited the grandson's mother-in-law's house in the past few days have almost stepped down the door!" The bastard carefully put on Zhu Yunxi's socks and shoes. "The gifts are so good for the Zhao family."
Even the concierge can’t let it go, which makes Mr. Zhao very worried! Take it, he’s scared. Don’t take it, he’s afraid of offending others!”
The old man's imperial edict has been issued for several days, and the two parties have also completed the first step of the engagement, exchanging the birth dates of the man and woman.
Zhao Ning'er was only a sixth-rank official in his family, but he rose to become the first relative of the Ming Dynasty. The civil servants were still a little reserved, but Zhu Yunxi's uncle's family, as well as Zhu Biao's veterans, began to recognize the family and get married without any scruples.
The Jinyiwei left a guard at Zhao's house, and reports on the situation there came out every day. When Zhu Yunxi read the reports, he would always take a few glances at them.
The old man did not miss the mark. The Zhao family is really not arrogant. No matter how many gifts others give, their family always responds grandly. Moreover, no matter who they face, they are cautious and cautious, and do not look arrogant at all.
Moreover, after the marriage was settled, their family still lived in Shuijing Hutong. They did not live in the Chuyang Prince's Mansion as a gift from the old man at all.
"In a moment, you go and run!" Zhu Yunxi said to the bastard, "Send some of the ginseng tribute from Goryeo to the Zhao family. The old man has rewarded them with so many things, and it is unjustifiable not to reward them even if they are alone!"
"My slave, you obey!" the tortoise said with a smile, "Master is really benevolent!"
"Stop flattering!" Zhu Yunxi stood up after putting on his shoes, let them put on his robe, and continued, "By the way, go and tell Jiang Wei and list what the people who went to Zhao's house to give gifts have given.
Come out with the list and show it to me!"
Reciprocity of favors is a courtesy, but insisting on clinging to favors without favors is suspected of speculation.
He wanted to see who was giving the gifts and what their identities were.
"Go back to Your Highness, Commander Chiang sent someone here yesterday afternoon!" the bastard said in a low voice.
"You are so brave if you don't give it to Gu!" Zhu Yunxi immediately lowered his face, "Can you make the decision for Gu now?"
"Your Highness!" The bastard knelt down and said shamefully, "How can I have the courage? You were in the palace yesterday reviewing memorials and didn't come back until midnight. I saw that you were very tired, so I didn't dare to tell you!"
"Still quibbling!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "I see you are impatient with life!"
"This slave deserves to die!" The bastard kowtowed shamelessly, "This slave will never dare to do it again!"
It's not that Zhu Yunxi is making a fuss out of a molehill, nor is it that he is unreasonable, but he wants to guard against subtle mistakes.
Since he became the grandson, the eunuchs serving around him started to tremble in the palace, and there were five or six of them outside, shouting and drinking.
The Jin Yiwei dared not report the memorials submitted by them, and maybe they would also dare to manipulate the memorials on important military and state affairs in the future.
Even though the bastard has been waiting for him to grow up, feelings are feelings and rules are rules. If you let go of this now and let him get into trouble, he might do something difficult to end in the future.
It is not unreasonable for the old man to have a bad face towards eunuchs.
